My True Love

Chapter 3: Bonfire

I get up in the morning and go grab some breakfast. I eat at the table again with Newt, Alby, Summer and this time Minho is there too. Minho and Newt finish their food and run off outside the walls. "Does he go out there all the time, and why did Newt go?" I ask. "Yes and its one of his jobs, he's actually very good at it." Alby says. Me, Summer and Alby soon finish our food and get back to work again. Me and Summer carry on building the almost complete hut.

We finish it by late afternoon and Summer tells me that there is a special celebration for me. "When?" "Now." "Now, why?" I ask. "Because you're the Greenie." She smiles and takes me towards a bonfire Alby has been working at. Minho and Newt are already back from the maze and are sat at a log talking. Summer takes my hand and leads me over to them and we take a seat and start talking.

"So, who wants to play spin the bottle?" Newt eventually asks. "No. No, not-" Summer starts but Minho cuts her off. "Sure, why not?" He says, quickly flickering his eyes to our joined hands and smirks. Minho explains the simple rules. "So, for example Summer will spin the bottle twice, whoever it lands on the first time has to do rock, paper, scissors with whoever it lands on second. Rock is strip, paper is hug and scissors is kiss. No backing out. Got it?" He asks. I nod slightly. We sit in a circle and Newt puts his hand up saying "Me first, then we'll go around the circle." "Okay." Minho smiles. Newt spins the bottle and it lands on Minho and me. We both pull paper so Newt gives us both a hug. Minho has his go and he ends up hugging Summer.

Its Summer next. "Ok." She takes a deep breath and spins the bottle. It lands on Newt first, then me. Newt and I do rock, paper scissors and I pull paper, Newt pulls scissors. As scissors beat paper, Summer has to kiss Newt. Summer sighs, putting her hand on her head. "This is never a good idea." she mumbles. She leans forward and gives Newt a gentle kiss. Then it's my go. It lands on Summer and Minho. Minho pulls paper and Summer pulls...Summer pulls scissors. Minho leans back, smirking and Summer shuffles closer to me. She gives me a sweet smile and I lean in and kiss her. She moves her lips in sync with mine, gently tugging at my hair. We pull apart and I can't help blushing a little. Minho and Newt look at each other, smiling.

We talk a bit more before Alby puts out the fire and tells us it's time to sleep. I walk with Summer to the hammocks and give her a hug. "Have a good sleep." I tell her. She smiles and settles down into her hammock. It starts to get even colder that night and I can't get to sleep. "Gally, are you awake." I hear Summer whisper. "Yes." I answer. There's silence for a while before she speaks again. "Can I...um. Can I sleep in your hammock with you?" I smile a little. "Sure." She comes over and comes into my hammock. I wrap my arm around her and she snuggles up against my chest. She looks up at me and kisses me. "Goodnight." "Goodnight." I say, before closing my eyes and going to sleep.
